Untermeyer as an editor of poetry

[edit]

I don't know how to work it into the article, but I've encountered him as an editor of poetry; the libraries I've browsed have had a number of his volumes. Amusingly (or insightfully) enough, his collection of Modern American Poets included the work of him and his wife (Untermeyer, Jean Starr). Some of the information from the top Google searches could also be worked into the article.--Prosfilaes 05:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Critic?

[edit]

The first numbered footnote, in support of describing Untermeyer as a critic, says "See for example his criticism[sic]" of one of Wallace's poems in Harmonium. Seems inadequate. First of all, does this note belong in the first paragraph, which is supposed to be a summary? Second, when I looked at the internal link, it seems to refer to an editorial dispute between Stevens and Untermeyer about shortening a poem's title, which hardly qualifies as literary criticism. Third, I have made this mistake myself, in my day, but isn't it contrary to wikipedia's policies to use internal wiki references as footnotes? On the whole, I think this article needs to be more encyclopedic in tone and content. Mballen (talk) 18:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
